Don't worry, you won't need to rip your CDs again.
Anything encoded my the 1.1.x releases will still be decoded with
1.2.x.
If you did encounter a problem in the future where your 1.2.x files
wouldn't play in a piece of software or on some hardware player, you
will be able to transcode them to 1.1.x without incurring losslessly.
Because the files are lossless :)
The only thing these changes, if they are implimented, will effect is
playing new files with old (and probably very out f dat by that point)
software or hardware.
